Hymn of the Drowning Star [Verse 1] One more prayer and the world bends slow Candles bleed where the shadows grow Close my eyes but I’m wide awake Hear it whisper beneath the wake Walls start breathing, hymns crawl in Patterns bloom underneath my skin Every step pulls me down below To the depths I ache to know [Pre-Chorus] Spinning sigils in my mind Leave the sunlit world behind Hear a call I can’t deny “Come down… slip through the sky” [Chorus] Falling, falling down the line To the mouth of something blind Nothing’s real but I don’t care I can feel it in the air Lose myself, let it all unwind Leave my human shape behind If I’m chosen, let me stay Don’t you pull this trance away [Verse 2] Down a shore that shouldn’t be Tidal doors all open to me Laughing voices twist and stretch Language breaking into flesh Dead crowned prophets, sight like stone Speak of truths I should not know Every law just rots away Blackened stars outshine the day [Pre-Chorus] Heartbeat pounding out of time Every sense begins to climb If I crack I won’t come back But I crave the yawning black [Chorus] Falling, falling through the seams Drowning in these violet dreams Everything I was is gone But I feel I’m moving on Lose my name, my fear, my past Make this calling always last If I’m lost then let me be Right where It has placed its seed [Bridge] No ground, no sound Just shapes all around I’m weightless now It wakes me up No fear, no pain Just salt in my veins I’m drifting out I can’t come down [Final Chorus] Now I’m sinking through the sky Past the stars and past my mind All my meanings rust to mold Every prayer I ever told I was falling just to find Hands beneath the fractured brine Drowned below and crowned above Feeding what I’ve come to love [Outro] One last thought, I’m gone again Was I servant, was I friend All I know before goodbye… I was swallowed by the sky
